WHO IS THIS GREAT HEALER?
Heal me O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved. Jeremiah 17:14
Jesus went throughout Galilee teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness among the people .
News about Him spread all over Syria and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures and the paralyzed, and he healed them.

THE GREAT HEALER
God is such that His heart intensely yearns to heal and repair his creation.
Mankind has become so terribly marred by sin, sorrow, evil and countless disorders which affects the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual components of man’s being.
Men suffer from sickness, birth defects, emotional illness, death and bereavement, loneliness, behavioural dysfunction and a lot of heartaches and problems known to man.

God wants to repair these blotches on His beautiful handiwork. Since these wounds abound world wide, healing, repair and restoration can never be far from God’s thoughts.
Thus, he has pledged repeatedly in both Testaments that he will completely repair the earth and all creation. He will heal the world’s uncountable sorrows and restore the human race to a position of nobility

AN EMOTIONAL WOUND
From a physical point of view, the word “wound” refers to a living or body tissue that is damaged. It is visible and one can see if it is a big or small wound.
When the word is linked to emotions, it refers to the damage to one’s emotions. Such damage is not visible to one’s eyes and people may not be aware of the injury.
![Page 9: THE HEALER OF EMOTIONAL WOUNDS HOPE FOR THE HURTING.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649c945503460f9495165d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
A wounded heart occurs when someone or something brings hurt to your emotions.
“ The words of a talebearer are as wounds and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.” Proverbs 26:22
![Page 10: THE HEALER OF EMOTIONAL WOUNDS HOPE FOR THE HURTING.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649c945503460f9495165d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
WHAT IS HEALING?
The Hebrew word for “heal” is the verb rapha pronounced “raw-faw” which means to repair, restore health, heal, mend, fix or cure.
Rapha occurs more than 60 times in the Old Testament. In Genesis 20:17 Abram prayed to God for Abimelech’s healing and God healed him and his household.
In Exodus 15:26 the Lord says; “ I am the Lord that healeth thee.
Rapha also occurs in many well known verses such as Psalm 103:3 referring to the Lord “who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases.” Psalm 107:20 says:” he sent His word, and healed them”. In Isaiah 53:5, the Bible says we are healed by the stripes of God’s sacrificed Lamb, Jesus the Messiah
![Page 11: THE HEALER OF EMOTIONAL WOUNDS HOPE FOR THE HURTING.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649c945503460f9495165d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
In Psalm 41:4 David says:’ Lord, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.” The human soul often needs healing. Brokenness, injury of the soul can be caused by sin and an act of God’s mercy brings healing to the soul.
Mental health professionals deal with multitudes of mentally injured or traumatized people. Sometimes they succeed in promoting healing and sometimes they do not when such healing is beyond human hands.

WHY PROMOTE HEALING?
To get rid of an emotional pain. To prevent the wound from festering and
getting worse. Healed wounds promote self-confidence,
emotional intelligence, spiritual maturity, contentment and honest relationships.

UNHEALED WOUNDS
An unhealed wound has a sabotaging effect or detrimental effect on both physical and mental health such as flattened positive feelings or not performing at our best.
The price you pay for not attending to your hurts is what happens later in the different areas of your life like relationships, marriage and work.
